<P>
The GUI Layout Toolbox provides a package of MATLAB objects that allow for complex
arrangement of graphical user interface elements within a figure window. The
main capabilities provided are:
<UL>
  <LI>Automatic element arrangement horizontally, vertically or in grids</LI>
  <LI>Ability to specify fixed sizes or resizing weights for each element</LI>
  <LI>Ability to "nest" layouts to produce virtually any element arrangement</LI>
  <LI>Divider bars for user-resizing of elements</LI>
</UL>
</P>
<P>
These element arrangement capabilities are designed to match those found as
standard in other user-interface toolkits such as Java Swing, GTK, QT etc.
